@Kris thanks they are not all my original writings but as we are on this journey they have helped me stay more positive and I hope they can help someone else on this journey😀😀

Today is your day to let go of things that no longer serve you

Congratulations on getting through a tuff day!!! Today is a new day!! You are doing great!! Just remember one day at a time Nope not one puff ever!!😀😀🌄🌄

Life has taught me I am not always in control life is full of experiences lesson heartbreak and pain but it has also shown me love beauty possibilities and new beginnings embrace it all it makes us who we are and after every storm comes a clear sky

Nope Not one puff ever

It is hotter here in Michigan than it is in California!! What the Hell!!

We should be lifting each other and cheering each other on not trying to outshine one another the sky would be awfully dark with just one star

There are no short cuts to anyplace worth going

@Gus Congratulations on the job!!! Don't second guess yourself!! You can always move on if its not what you want!! Will miss you positive post!! Good luck on the job🤗🤗

@StevenHere Yes jillar told you about the ticker, she explained it better than I could!! Lol It does give you an incentive to see how much money we were blowing up in smoke! Then you can treat yourself with something fun with the savings!!😃😃

Welcome @StevenHere Great decision to give up the smokes!! Congratulations on 2 weeks Lots of good people here and good support for your journey!!

Tonight before you go to sleep think of something that makes you smile there is always something no matter how bad your day may have been you will sleep better you will feel better once you wake up and you will face your new day with a positive mind Not all storms come to disrupt your life some come to clear your path

I am happy that I get to go visit my friend that you have all heard me talk about tomorrow in the hospital!!!!

@Kris I agree with katgirl I to lost my husband several years ago. The loss of a loved one is very hard!!! But you have grand kids who I am sure love there grandma. Please reach out for help,you don't have to do this alone. I have lost two sisters, two brother in-laws , mother and father and friends I have a very close friend fighting a terminal illness in the hospital right now. Life sucks sometimes but I am sure our loved ones would want us to be happy. So I have crappy days also, I feel your pain. I also live alone and I have a dog also.So hang in there you are not alone!!!

Welcome Kris, You will find alot of good support here!! Stay close read all you can about the addiction. We are all here to help each other in the journey!!!

@Kris Yes like Jillar said prop your feet up, you should cut back on the salt intake. Hopefully you can get to the doctor tomorrow

@jillar We have had rain on and off for the last 5 days.About 60 miles south of me they had cars caught in flooding roads that people had to be rescued out of the cars. Flood warnings all over.

Helped a friend move yesterday and it was really hot and humid. Then the storms moved in rained so hard you could hardly see to drive. Then we had tornado warnings When I finally got home my damm garage was flooded. What a day it was. So today I have not done anything.

@Kris Wow you have a rough time!! This is the place to be!! Lots of support and great people!! You are doing awesome!!! I quit for health reasons also. I have the beginnings of emphysema also so I need to make this quit stick

@Steven Drojensky I'm glad your doing better today. Yes COPD for me also and emphysema so yes the smoking needs to stop! We can do this!!!

@Opah I know exactly what your saying!!! I have a person in my life like that, your so right you can't help someone that doesn't want help. I know the serenity prayer well!!! I just finished a zoom Al-Anon open speaker meeting. That's how I save my serenity. 😃😃

@Steven Drojensky How are you doing today? Good job getting through the crave yesterday!!!😃😃

Soon when all is well you're going to look back on this period of your life and be so glad that you never gave up

You're probably overestimating what's going against you and underestimating what's within you

@Opah Me too!!! My umph got up and went!! Lol I wish I was that way. I get bored and don't feel like doing anything that's when I want to smoke. Get tired of trying to stay busy all the time
